Doxologies to the Trinity

1 TO Him that chose us first, Before the world began; To Him that bore the curse To save rebellious man; To Him that form'd our hearts anew, Is endless praise and glory due.
2 The Father's love shall run Through our immortal songs; We bring to God the Son Hosannas on our tongues; Our lips address the Spirit's name With equal praise, and zeal the same.
3 Let every saint above, And angel round the throne, For ever bless and love The sacred Three in One: Thus heaven shall raise His honours high, When earth and time grow old and die. Isaac Watts, 1709.

PRAISE the God of all creation, Praise the Father's boundless love; Praise the Lamb, our expiation, Priest and King enthroned above. Praise the Fountain of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live; Undivided adoration To the One Jehovah give. Josiah Conder, 1837

1 COME. Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy name to sing, Help us to praise: Father all-glorious, O'er all victorious, Come and reign over us, Ancient of days.
2 Jesus, our Lord, arise; Scatter our enemies, And make them fall: Let Thine Almighty aid Our sure defence be made, Our souls on Thee be stay'd: Lord, hear our call.
3 Come, Thou Incarnate Word, Gird on Thy mighty sword, Our prayer attend: Come and Thy people bless, And give Thy word success; Spirit of holiness, On us descend,
4 Come, Holy Comforter, Thy sacred witness bear In this glad hour: Thou, who almighty art, Now rule in every heart, And ne'er from us depart, Spirit of power!

"Make a joyful noise."
1 MUSIC, bring thy sweetest treasures, Dulcet melody and chord, Link the notes with loveliest measures To the glory of the Lord.
2 Wing the praise from every nation, Sweetest instruments employ, Raise the chorus of creation, Swell the universal joy.
3 Far away be gloom and sadness; Spirits with seraphic fire, Tongues with hymns, and hearts with gladness, Higher sound the chords and higher.
4 To the Father, to the Saviour, To the Spirit, source of light, As it was, is now, and ever, Praise in heaven's supremest height. James Edmeston, 1837.

3 Eternal Spirit! by whose breath The soul is raised from sin and death, Before Thy throne we sinners bend; To us Thy quickening power extend.

"God be merciful unto us."
1 LEAD us, heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee; Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be.
2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us, All our weakness Thou dost know, Thou didst tread this earth before us, Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending. Fill our hearts with heavenly joy, Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy: Thus provided, pardon'd, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy. James Edmeston, 1820.

"Let there be Light."
1 THOU, whose almighty word, Chaos and darkness heard, And took their flight, Hear us, we humbly pray, And where the gospel's day Sheds not its glorious ray, Let there be light.
2 Thou, who didst come to bring On Thy protecting wing, Healing and sight, Sight to the inly blind, Health to the sick in mind, Oh! now, to all mankind, Let there be light.
3 Spirit of truth and love, Life-giving, holy Dove, Speed forth Thy flight; Move o'er the water's face By Thine almighty grace, And, in earth's darkest place, Let there be light.
4 Blessed and holy Three, Glorious Trinity, Wisdom, Love, Might. Boundless as ocean's tide, Rolling in fullest pride, O'er the world, far and wide, Let there be light, John Marriott, 1813
